Chapter 721: Encountering an Acquaintance Again
After everyone left, Gu Yin conducted a few more experiments before heading out.
The weather is great today. Because of yesterday's rain, the developed area by the lake is flooded, but it's not serious. There's a well-established drainage system here, and the plants haven't suffered any problems due to the excessive moisture.
That's quite a large sum, but considering the importance of this place, it's not surprising that they've done this.
Gu Yin went to check on the Rejuvenating Grass. Perhaps because of the soil here, the Rejuvenating Grass that she had just sat down on had already sprouted.
"Based on this situation, it will survive in a week and bloom in half a month. I checked this morning and it has sprouted in every hole. The survival rate is 100%. Once it sprouts, there is no need to worry too much about the rest."
Gu Yin turned around and saw that it was Elder Dong.
"I probably won't be able to stay for very long, but by the time I leave, they will have grown quite tall, so I'll have to trouble you to take good care of them."
Old Dong waved his hand: "How can you call it trouble? This is my duty. By the way, when I came here just now, I ran into two young men with notebooks in their hands, looking for you."
Gu Yin raised her eyebrows; it must be Xiao Zhengyang and Shao Tiancheng.
"Then you go ahead and do your work, I'll head over now!"
After leaving the lakeside, Gu Yin returned to the laboratory. She didn't see anyone at the door, so she took out her phone, only to find that she hadn't memorized the numbers of the people at the base.
The base is a few dozen meters away from the lake, and there is a signal here.
Gu Yin left her own laboratory and headed towards the base laboratory.
Before I even reached the door, I saw Xiao Zhengyang coming out from inside.
"I heard you were looking for me? Is it a problem with your notes that needs to be resolved?"
Xiao Zhengyang jogged over and said, "Yes! Comrade Zhou, are you free now? We've already prepared the questions!"
Gu Yin nodded: "I'm free."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhengyang immediately said, "Then wait a moment, I'll go back and get my notes!"
Gu Yin looked at the laboratory in front of her and asked, "May I go in for a look?"
Although Director Fang had said she could go in freely, it's still better to ask first.
Xiao Zhengyang was surprised: "Of course! You can go in anytime! Shall we go in and take a look?"
Gu Yin nodded: "Let's go."
There were soldiers guarding the entrance. Gu Yin was not stopped or asked to show her ID when she went in, but a red line scanned her as she entered.
The lab is huge! Bigger than a football field! It's like an office! But it's not chaotic at all. Everything, from the equipment and documents on the table to the computers and staff, is so orderly.
"This is the central control room. The director usually sits here to control the overall situation. This is the history professors' laboratory, this is the biomedical and chemistry-related laboratory, that is the physics, mathematics and computer science laboratory, the one next to it is the agronomy laboratory, and that is... the innermost part is the experimental observation room. Which one do you want to see first?" Xiao Zhengyang introduced as he led Gu Yin inside.
"Let's go into biomedicine first, it's related to my major, I'd like to take a look."
"No problem, please come this way!"
"Professor Cheng Dong is in charge of the biomedical field, but he recently returned to Beijing. Currently, his student, Professor Zhang Ge, is managing it. Since arriving, Professor Zhang Ge has been busy in the lab and hasn't left. You..."
"Second Senior Brother?!" Gu Yin was surprised to see the familiar person in front of her.
Zhang Ge was organizing last night's experimental data when he heard this and turned around. Seeing Gu Yin, he was also astonished: "Xiao Wu? What are you doing here?!"
Xiao Zhengyang asked in confusion, "Professor Zhang and Comrade Zhou know each other? Comrade Zhou is the research commissioner who came here this time! I'm showing her around the laboratory right now."
Hearing this title, Gu Yin felt a little embarrassed. She always felt that the title was strange in front of acquaintances and was a little ashamed.
Seeing Gu Yin's reaction, Zhang Ge smiled kindly: "So you're the special envoy! What a coincidence!" He then looked at Xiao Zhengyang: "Xiao Wu is my junior sister, and also our teacher's student. I'll show her around later. You go ahead and get busy!"
Gu Yin looked at him upon hearing this: "I'll come find you about the notes later. I need to talk to my senior brother for a while first."
After Xiao Zhengyang left, Gu Yin tugged at Zhang Ge's white coat and said helplessly, "Hey senior brother, what's with your long hair and unkempt beard? We've got you here to do experiments, not to wander around. Your appearance is way too untidy!"
Zhang Ge scratched his head and said with a smile, "I just came out of the experimental observation area. I haven't washed up for several days. The data came out today, and I plan to sort it out before taking a day off. By the way, what are you doing here?"
So that's how it is. No wonder she didn't meet her second senior brother.
"I made a discovery in my experiment, and the important test subjects are here, so I came to take a look. How come I didn't know the teacher was here? Are my grandfather and Ayan here? Why haven't I run into him?"
Gu Yin asked in confusion.
Zhang Ge explained, "It's probably for confidentiality reasons, so the teacher didn't tell you. After the teacher came here, he also conducted experiments here. He almost never went out during the day, and even when he did, it was at night. In addition, your grandfather and Chu Yan are not scientific research talents, so they can't get in here. There are many people here, and it's quite a large place, so it's normal that you can't see them!"
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "Alright, are you done with your AIDS experiment?"
Zhang Ge shook his head and then nodded: "It's still in the experiment. The last stage will take a long time. I don't plan to apply for this year's Nobel Prize. There's someone in charge at the research institute, so don't worry. But you are."
At this point, Zhang Ge looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before speaking up: "Didn't you already leave your name at Base 101? And you're participating in the research here?"
101 is a biomedical base, and they had already reserved a spot for Gu Yin. If Gu Yin participates in the research here, then the spot will be useless, since the research here is not sure when it will be completed. Judging from the state of the lake, Zhang Ge felt that he might never have the chance to see it in his lifetime. Since he had thought of it, 101 must have thought of it as well. So, if Gu Yin comes here now, isn't she telling them that she will be coming here in the future?
"I didn't plan to do research here. I just come here occasionally. After graduation, I'll probably go to Taipei 101. Don't worry."
It's too formal here. Even if she came, she wouldn't be able to do what she wants. The scientists at Base 101 are all pretty crazy. That place is more suitable for her.
Zhang Ge nodded upon hearing this: "It's good that you have your own ideas. Did those two want to see you?"
Gu Yin followed Zhang Ge's gaze and saw that it was Xiao Zhengyang and his companion. She nodded and said, "They have something to ask you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ge said, "Then you go ahead and get busy. After I've organized the data, I'll go back and take a shower, and then come back to show you the situation here. I also have something to ask you in the lab!"
Gu Yin had no problem with this: "Alright, I'll go then, Senior Brother, please go ahead with your work!"
